HOW TO JOIN ONE IN GOD Version 1.0

ONE IN GOD MOVEMENT, OIGM

One In God Mission is a worldwide movement dedicated to spreading the teachings, techniques, and gifts of Christ Consciousness.It is an open mission, free for all mankind. Whoever wants to join us may join at any time, with no obligation, no cost, and no commitment necessary. To join the mission, simply come as you are, watch the videos, read the books, and try the powerful and blessed techniques. By following this mission, you raise yourself, and, as a result, everyone else around you, into the higher state to which God is calling you.

ONE IN GOD ORDER, OIGO

The backbone of the One In God Mission is the One In God Order, OIGO. While the movement is free to join with no obligation, those who feel the higher calling to become a part of the order, meaning, official contributors to our work, must offer a heartfelt commitment before God, pledging service and loyalty to this great work. It is the members of the order who build up the movement; they are like branches of spiritual tree that feeds the sweet heavenly fruits to starving humanity.

While members of the movement raise themselves and others, members of the Order become leaders, and beacons of light in the worldly darkness.

If you hear the inner calling to become a blessing for mankind, and to dedicate your life to the Divine Plan, then truly, God is calling you to join the Order.

The first step is to be very clear in your understanding of the One In God mission and vision. Please read, very carefully, the brochure written by Bishop Ralph, under the guidance of Ma Sudevi, "Christ Consciousness: The Way To Become One In God." This brochure contains within it the essence of the mission.

Once you have read and understood this, and you are sure that it resonates as Truth within your heart, please read this pledge, silently, to yourself. While reading it to yourself, take your time, internalize what you are reading, and understand that by reading it silently, you are not making a commitment, you are simply discerning whether or not to make the commitment. Once you have read and understood, if you wish to truly dedicate your life to our great work, you may sincerely read these lines out loud, and sign the form at the bottom, submitting a scanned copy to our headquarters. By so doing, you will become a novice, a new initiate, into One In God Order. From there, the leadership through the lineage of Sudevi as Divine Director, and Bishop Ralph, the head of our priesthood, will guide you in your sacred work.

DECLARATION AND PROMISEBy reading aloud the following statements, and then signing my name below, I declare and promise before God:

I have read the broshure "Christ Consciousness: The Way to Become One In God" and I choose to join this mission.

I understand that in the illusion of the world there are many teachers, systems and faiths established, all claiming to be the "way" to divinity. However, through my own free will, I commit to follow the Way to God as outlined by One In God mission, and through the practice of Jesus Yoga.This will lead me to eternal life, self realization, Christ Consciousness, and Unity with God.

I will practice Transcendental Christian Meditation, TCM, for 30 minutes or more everyday.

I will follow the 12 steps outlined in the above mentioned brochure, and inspire others to do the same.

I commit to making my own spiritual growth my top priority, and through the fulfillment I experience within my own self, I will share and inspire others to grow, also.

I accept my calling to offer the spiritual fruits and presents of Christ Consciousness to all humanity.

I understand that a main part of my spiritual growth is directly connected to my awakened compassion for all, and that the highest expression of Love is Compassion. I understand that humanity starves more for God's Compassion, and for spiritual maturity, than anything else, and as someone who commits to realizing Salvation, I commit also to sharing the glory of what I find with others.

I hereby declare that all the work I do for this mission will be done with an understanding that it is as a gift of the mission to me, and will be used as a technique with which to realize Christ Consciousness.

All the time, money and resources I choose to invest into One In God, for the distribution of literature, instruction of others, and building of infrastructure, will be done as "seva," sacred service. Whatever I give, I give for the greater good of All, without expectation of power, prestige, or accumulation of worldly riches. All the seeds that I plant will be double seeds, planted not only in the world, but also within my own consciousness.* (See explanation on the page following.)

I understand all this now, and will continue to grow into a deeper understanding and love as I practice what I declare.

I happily offer myself, along with my talents and skills, ressources and special abilities, to God, from Whom all of my talents, skills, resources and abilities come. I understand that by giving myself to God, I lose nothing, but rather, gain Godliness, because all things are transient and fleeting but the Love of the Almighty which is Eternal.

I will make it to a habit to speak openly about the mission, and will try my best to share the steps and practices with at least three people every day.

I will be creative and find ways to spread the brochure and invite people into the movement with joy.

I will study and share with others the two books that provide a basic knowledge to achieve Christ Consciousness:1) Christ Consciousness2) The Way To God

I will connect with other members of the organization, offer my support to them, because I understand that by supporting each other we all grow together.

I will meditate as often as possible in the presence of a cross relic once I have obtained a cross relic for myself, and I will share it's holy energy by iniviting others to meditate with me, giving all who desire it the chance to hold the holy object, pray with it, and receive it's blessings.

I will support the Unity Under the Cross project, as explained in the brochure of the same name, "Unity Under the True Cross."

I hereby pledge myself as a noviciate member of ONE IN GOD ORDER!

(Personal Statement, in the lines provided above, let us know a little bit about you. This can include the story of your connection to One In God, your goals in the movement, and the services you wish to offer, as well as any questions or comments you have for us while we review your declaration.)

Please include your address, contact information and a picture of yourself.

Once you have signed and submitted the form found on page 2 of this document, your application will be processed. Your approval will be pending, and we may choose to follow-up with an online interview. Once approved, you will receive a certificate welcoming you to the order, signed by a One In God official, and stamped with Bishop Ralph's insignia. The moment you receive this form, you have become a noviciate member of OIGO!

Novitiates will become full-fledged members of the Order once they have reached level 7 of our 12 levels to Unity. For each noviciate, the entry into full membership of the order will be unique. Some may be ready for this next step very early into the practice, and others may choose to take more time. This will be assessed by the leadership of the order. Should you feel called to take the further vows of full entry into the Brotherhood and Sisterhood, do let us know, and we may begin the interview process. When you are called into initiation as a Brother or Sister of the order, you will take the following pledges:

(Pledge for females:) I will now be called: Sister (Your legal name) of the One In God Order, which can be written as Sr. (Your Legal Name) of OIGO on all One In God related documents, for our events, and credited in our literature.

(Pledge for males:) I will now be called: Brother (Your legal name) of the One In God order, which can be written as Br. (Your legal name) of OIGO on all ONe In God related documents, for our events, and credited in our literature.

Upon entering level 7, I will commit to attend Mass at least once per week. I will become a group leader, inviting others in my community to join me in this great mission.

I will become a Jesus Yoga Teacher.

I am open to receiving an office or position in the One In God organization. (In other words, a titled job description, like 'Executive Designer,' 'Editor,' 'CEO,' etc. All such positions will be reserved for Brothers and Sisters of the Order.)

I will always respect the hierarchy of the order, under the primacy of Ma Nithya Sudevi, and the priesthood of Bishop Ralph Napierski. I will always respect the leadership and guidance of the rulers and priesthood, knowing with full trust that their decisions are made directly under God's Guidance, and for the sake of my highest good. Once I become a leader, I will respect those who enter the organization beneath me, and will guide them with love, compassion, and a commitment to their highest good.

I will always be loyal to the One In God Order, as well as to the Leader of the Order, Ma Nithya Sudevi, and the Bishop of the Order, Bishop Ralph Napierski, as well as to their successors, local representatives, and initiates.

I hereby dedicate my life, my efforts, and my full loyalty to the achievement of Eternal Life, Christ Consciousness and Unity with God.

I offer myself in full surrender to God.I AM a full member of One In God!

Amen! Tathastu! Let it be so!

*Explanation of the phrase, "All the seeds that I plant will be double seeds, planted not only in the world, but also within my own consciousness."

Some people may fall into the ego trap of thinking that their work, efforts and gifts are solely benefitting others outside of them, but in the One In God mission, we know that all the good we do for others is also good God is doing for us.

Ma Nithya Sudevi understands that whenever she gives a discourse, publishes a book, or shares her art, she is not doing this merely as a generous bequeathing to humanity, but rather, that by giving these things, God is giving to her the power through which to do them.

Sr. Dunja of OIGO knows that by sharing her Jesus Yoga video on YouTube, she is receiving added grace to continue her practice, and that by sharing her cartoons as a part of Sudevi's upcoming book, "Free Yourself," she is being doubly blessed by the opportunity to contribute.

Bishop Ralph knows that when he gives the sacraments of the church, and shares the relics of the cross and other gifts he has been given, this is not 'his gift to humanity,' but God's gift to him, and through him, to humanity.

Everything we earn in One In God- financially, spiritually, with regard to wisdom and to higher awakened energy, and more- is given immediately and freely to everyone, everywhere. The money we earn is invested back into our infrastructure, and into the materials we distribute. Therefore, when we give all of what we have, we don't think, "I am giving this," but, "I have been blessed with this so that it can be given."

"It is in giving that we receive," is a famous line spoken by St. Francis of Assisi in his holy prayer, and this understanding applies especially in a spiritual order like this one.

How might this apply to you, as a noviciate?

For example, you may buy a book, print out a broshure or burn a video to DVD to give as a free gift to somebody whom you wish to introduce to the One In God Mission. This is what we mean when we say, "Plant a seed." The literature or video is the seed, and the act of giving it to someone is the planting. To plant such a seed, you invest your time, work and money. If you see it selfishly and through the ego, you may be tempted to think, "I have given this, I have done this," and you will be wondering and calculating how you might later be reciprocated. However, if you do it through Love, you will know that it is a double seed: the gifting of your time, work and money to elevate another has also planted itself as a seed within you, elevating you to a higher state of Divine Love and Christ Consciousness.

This seed, though it may seem something humble, like a print-out of a brochure, can grow in the person with whom it has been shared, and can be the very invitation to Unity with God that begins the upward spiral of this person's newfound spiritual life!

By doing good work, with Love and surrender to God, you continuously water your own inner seed, and make the space within to grow your Spirit.

So all the work you do for the order, be it hosting a group event, preparing a literature and other distributable materials, spreading brochures and relics, editing print, designing

graphics, and so on, is not just a mundane volunteer service you do 'for free,' it is an essential spiritual practice which benefits you as much as it benefits the world.

The more love you share, the more love you will have to share. This is the key to inner alchemy: give, share, love, inspire, radiate, and become fulfilled with an unlimited inner supply of gifts, love and inspiration!

When you dont expect others to be grateful to you; when you don't expect your investments to 'pay off;' when you do everything you do and give everything you give with an inner gratitude to God for allowing you to do it and to give it, you realize Christ Consciousness.

Finally, by doing so, you will reach a state where-in your love for God, and the love from God which you receive, become One; there will no longer be a sense of 'doing,' or 'giving;' this is when the true universal flow of God Consciousness, and Christ Consciousness, becomes You.

The following prayer, written by a true enlightened master of the Catholic faith, Saint Francis, will help you to remember the sacredness of this goal. We recommend that you read it, and repeat it, especially in times of doubt and questioning:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.Where there is hatred, let me sow love;where there is injury,pardon;where there is doubt, faith;where there is despair, hope;where there is darkness, light;and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seekto be consoled as to console;to be understood as to understand;to be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive;it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
